Law of Polarity Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth on August 12, 2011

This 4th of 7 Universal Law is one that we face every day and when we understand this Law and how to transmute it so many doors open that lead to Joy, Peace and Love. On the transition journey seeing the polarity, knowing that they are two parts of a whole and embracing both parts leads us to freedom.

“The Law of Polarity: “Everything is dual, everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree”. The first of the mutable Universal Laws tells us that there are two sides to everything. Things that appear as opposites are in fact only two extremes of the same thing. For instance heat and cold may appear to be opposites at first glance, but in truth they are simply varying degrees of the same thing. The same applies to love and hate, peace and war, positive and negative, good and evil, yes and no, light and darkness, energy and matter. You can transform your thoughts from hate to love, from fear to courage by consciously raising your vibrations. This is what in the ancient Hermetic Teachings is called the Art of Polarization.

Neutralizing the Law of Polarity: This Principle of Duality may appear to be very real in your life but it operates only in the physical and mental realms, not in the spiritual realm where All is One. As it says in the Bhagavad-Gita “God is Above the Opposites”. By always placing the all-powerful, all-knowing Great Spirit of which you are a part behind your every thought, statement and action, and by always focusing on the “good”, even when things appear to be going “bad”, then in time you will neutralize the Law of Polarity such that it ceases to operate in your life.” (Kotsos 2011)

Relating this Law to gender transition, male and female are parts of the whole and when you see this transition becomes so much easier. Take a paper sack and turn it inside out, notice the similarities and the differences. Now turn your paper sack into a plastic bag. Having difficulty with that? Paper and plastic come from different elements and are thus not the same. We are able to transition from male to female or female to male because each is a pole of the same thing, Human. We are not turning coal into gold here; instead we are turning the sack inside out.

Focus on embracing both parts of the whole and putting them in place respective to your personal gender identity. In essence you are showing the world who you are, not who they expect to see. This is done by Loving all of your body, not just the part you identify with. How can you only Love a part of God? Or Love only a part of your Partner? True Love and complete transition are total Love of all aspects of who you are, good or bad!

Unity in Gender Diversity

Ps. When I use capital letters with words like Love, I refer to Divine Love, not ego love. If you don’t know the difference read my eBooks or write to me, I am happy to explain.

Pss. Know that you have free will, so changing any aspect of your body is your choice and does not affect Polarity, you are always both male and female. It is simply a matter of which is being expressed.
